in a sea of bribed dimensions
the strongest heart will seem strained to start
beating beyond the dwindling reverence found
here in life
the law out stamped her own intentions when she
banned man his most crucial part
conqueror eternal
master of over strife
terrified inertia in a frenzy to bow
lost valued footing when he bells tolled their
final most private ring
everything means nothing today to just about anyone
who really has anything
to mention names or put faces to events is a
ridiculous notion at best
spoken of only just lightly and written half
in hooded jest
while the Eagles and the Hawks continue to fly
like pilots placed upon opposite sides of the
wind
the meek must first have each his day in the great
celestial chamber
before pure evil can prevail in the hands of any
just man
once, the pits too wary to stir
now that they have awakened
a cryptic erodist will whir
and all who care to believe and are allowed
to take leave
from such a disturbing existence
will alight from the earth
never to return
and that shall be their pittance..........
